I have an issue with the HipStamp "Get a $5 Credit" Discord promotion: $5.00 IS NOT FREE when you have to make a $15.00 purchase to get it. IMHO it represents the worst kind of deceptive advertising. Honest Abe is rolling over in his grave!

Hi Mark, No one has answered your principal question of how to respond to buyers who claim they did not receive an order sent without delivery confirmation. The short and only answer is: always provide a full refund and don’t wait two months to do …

I assume this was a PayPal transaction with shipping clearly stated on the invoice? If so, you express your concern & regret that he is unhappy, but buyers remorse is no excuse for cancelling a purchase - especially after payment is made. You …

All now working properly.

Now the top level search function is out... Heavy rains in my area, but all other sites (mail, News, the site that shall not be named, etc,) are functioning properly. It must be a HipStamp problem. I'll find something else to do for awhile

Most U.S. collectors recognize the name Micarelli because he incorporated his name into the title of his Identification Guide. Not so much Paul W. Schmid who wrote my other go-to USA reference: The Expert's Book. Just saying... If you spend a deca…

Do not take this as a personal attack… I know that the abbreviation you used has become common practice and is even accepted by spellchecker, but I much prefer the use of CMAS if you must truncate Christmas. An X is used to obliterate. Using an X…

My listing philosophy is like Greg’s. When I have several of the same low value single stamp in similar condition (e.g. MNH, OG, with F-VF or better centering), I create a single listing with a generic scan for the quantity of stamps I have availab…

There is actually an easy fix for this. 1. Go to the Listings view and select all your listings. Then use the Bulk Edit tool to eliminate all items that currently allow offers. 2. Go to your Default Listing settings to make sure the same box is …

Here is an example of the issue I tried to describe above: When I sort my listings by Country/ Catalogue Number i get the fowwing result

I have also experienced a large number of apparent duplicate listing in the last two months. I attributed it to user error (e.g., clicking the Create New Listing icon instead of the Edit listing icon or some other fault on my part). I am, however,…

Google "I just inherited a stamp collection". You'll find comprehensive advice from the APS and several dealers on how to determine if your collection has value and how to arrange an appraisal or sale. Frankly speaking, no dealer will pay you a…

Hali, I am sympathetic regarding your problem, but the other members are absolutely correct: You must ship the order at the price computed by HipStamp. Cancelling orders because you goofed on the postage charges is not a valid option. I assume you…

Are you saving you checked to see that all lots had a picture last night then some pics were missing this morning? That would be a problem... Perhaps you made an error? Bulk lister will check to see that you have typed something in the image fi…

PayPal deducts their fees directly from the buyer’s payment immediately as it is received. You must go to each transaction in your PayPal account to find these fees. The amount of fees taken by HipStamp for each transaction are shown on your accou…

What is driving the $910 Hip Value of this stamp in the Current No Reserve Auction event? Hip Values for all the State Ducks are whacky. Maybe have another look at the algorithm or decimal point placement?

Hi Len, I believe the Plate Number Coil Collectors Club is working on a comprehensive PNC catalogue with listings of retail value. It may not be published yet, or perhaps only available to members. Nevertheless, their web site, PNC3.org, has alway…

I have bought from Vance, Dutch Country, and some of the larger auction houses in the past. I would caution you NOT to assume that you can get better buys on large lots there than you can get on eBay. Do your research – do not buy for the fun of t…

Does anyone look at feedback now that the seller receives an automatic positive?

Thanks Richard. I agree - This is not for Me. Too bad. It does not sound like a complicated software fix.

I’d say you are on the right track. I usually sell one of items and small sets. Everything gets its own glassine or dealer card by country and Scott number. I strive to notate the source data (e.g. procuring invoice, date, and derived cost) on …

Thanks for your comprehensive reply, Mark. Perhaps my observations are skewed because I list lower value items as represented below: https://www.hipstamp.com/listing/832c-wilson-f-vf-mnh-single/47235316 https://www.hipstamp.com/listing/ux109-settli…

Overpriced ia an undestatement. Buy a stamp for pennies and mark it up 1000%! What a deal! Notice how he does not use Scott numbers on most of his listings. Hard for the uninformed to research values. Happily no one has fallen for this scam. …

John E Regarding your response to my comment that "Hipstamp should have taken action to limit the number duplicate listings a seller can make rather than force all sellers to reduce what may be better quality listings": It did not take me long to l…

Guess I'm lucky that I renewed at the Featured Store rate at the end of May and increased my listings to over 19,000. I'm now grandfathered in for the next 10 months. This gives me some time to reduce my inventory and find a new selling platform. …

The Brookman Catalogue and Official Blackbook Price Guide both quote prices for Mint Sheets but I've got to tell you that any seller on Hipstamp would be ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED to sell to you at the prices shown therein. Brookman has been selling sta…

Sounds to me like they are just closing a loophole. You can no longer use Friends and Family if you OR the recipient of a payment are a business. I'll admit that I once used the Friends and Family option to refund a buyer for the postage he spent…

What about the perfs on the right? How does an expertiser determine original vs reperf?
